YES, WE WILL BE OUTSIDE THIS WEEK FOR PHYS. ED. AND THE FORECAST IS FOR COLDER WEATHER

We will be outside for Phys. Ed. this week as there is Alien Inline Skating in the gym.  The forecast is for snow and temperatures down to -6 degrees.  Please take the weekend to dig out warm clothing so your child is prepared and will be warm.  Layered clothing, a warm jacket, mittens or gloves, a warm hat, and proper footwear will be very important. (Please send them to school prepared for the weather as we will also be outside prior to school and for our daily recesses.)
